ESD-susceptible equipment<br />
Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take<br />
measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your <strong>Palm</strong> phone, from ESD harm.<br />
While <strong>Palm</strong> has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and,<br />
unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your equipment. Any electronic<br />
device that contains an external entry point for plugging in anything from cables to docking<br />
stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry with you, such as your device,<br />
build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have built up on your body<br />
is automatically passed to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another device<br />
such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur.<br />
<strong>Pre</strong>cautions against ESD<br />
Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices<br />
before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The<br />
recommendation from <strong>Palm</strong> is that you take this precaution before connecting your device to<br />
your computer, placing the phone in a docking station, or connecting it to any other device. You<br />
can do this in many ways, including the following:<br />
• Ground yourself when you’re holding your mobile device by simultaneously touching a metal<br />
surface that is at earth ground. For example, if your computer has a metal case and is<br />
plugged into a standard three-prong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge<br />
the ESD on your body.<br />
• Increase the relative humidity of your environment.<br />
• Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats.<br />
Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences<br />
Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the<br />
following:<br />
• Low relative humidity.<br />
• Material type. (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more<br />
prone to static buildup than natural fibers like cotton.)<br />
• The rapidity with which you touch, connect, or disconnect electronic devices.<br />
While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity, if you are<br />
in an environment where you notice ESD events, you may want to take extra precautions to<br />
protect your electronic equipment against ESD.<br />
